Blick Contour Floater Frames

The Blick Contour Floater Frame is a beautiful contemporary frame made in the USA from American hardwood.

So named because the illusion it creates is that your artwork is "floating" within the frame instead of being covered by it, this frame is perfect for displaying a gallery wrap canvas where no staples are visible. The canvas easily attaches to the stretcher bars from the back side with screws.

The Blick Contour Floater Frame is available in three finishes, in a variety of sizes that accommodate 3/4", 7/8", or 1-1/2" deep canvases.

Frame Depth — The depth of a frame refers to the depth of the frame's rabbet (the cut-out area behind the frame's molding that holds your artwork in place). To find a frame that will accommodate your artwork, measure the depth of the artwork, including any matting or mounting materials, and order a frame with a depth that is, at a minimum, the same as that measured depth.

Note — Open Back Frames are meant to be hung on the wall and are sold as just the frame face. They are not shipped with backing material, glazing material, or hanging hardware. The open back frames are commonly used for traditional profile stretched canvases.

Color Matching — We do our best to match the color of frames, both on our website photography and in our catalogs, but differences in technology may affect the appearance of the photo on your screen. You are entitled to return, for refund or credit, any frame that does not meet your expectations. Remember that the frame size is the size of the artwork a frame is designed to hold, not the exterior dimensions.

I had never heard of these frames but saw them in the catalog and since I haven't painted in years I thought I would try one. I love these...instead of using screws in the back I am using velcro and voila! the canvas is in!

The frame has a nice design, correct dimensions, and it's very easy to attach the canvas to it with just four screws.What I did not like that much was the white finish. It is matte and a bit used in parts.This has happened to me with every Blick white floater frame I have ever purchased.I believe if they just applied a second coat of gloss white it would be perfect and would earn the 5 stars.On the other hand, if you plan to paint the frame, then it works fine. I have painted a few of them and the paint adheres properly.
